What is the minimum equipment needed for garden irrigation?
At the moment, it is only important to me to have pop-up sprinklers that start watering when the tap is turned on. Later expansions should be possible.
The garden is about 700m2 (7,535 sq ft) in an approximate U-shape around the house, with taps located on both sides of the U.
The outer edges of the shape measure 26 meters (85 ft), 36 meters (118 ft), 40 meters (131 ft), and 26 meters (85 ft).
A well might be installed later as a water supply.

I understand that already. I was more asking where you are currently with your planning and if I might be able to help.Ah, I see 🙂 Thanks, I’m still quite early in the process. I’ll gladly get back to you when the time comes!

T_im_Norden17 Jun 2021 10:39Here is a rough sketch of the lawn area.
This looks like a fairly straightforward task.
Get the datasheet for the Hunter rotors from the internet.
Start in one corner with the largest possible sprinkler head (making sure it does not spray beyond the property boundaries or onto the house).
Place the next sprinkler where the spray of the previous one ends. Always label each sprinkler head with its type.
Continue this process across the entire property. Be sure to plan for sprinklers both inside and outside.
Once all sprinklers are positioned, you can enter their flow rates per hour into a table.
Now group the sprinklers into zones. Factors such as sunlight exposure and consistent planting should be considered.
Each zone should not use more than 80% of your actual flow capacity.

T_im_Norden17 Jun 2021 15:00I’m a bit confused right now. With my 30-euro rectangular sprinkler, I can cover almost the entire area using 4-5 positions. With Hunter, I need a significantly higher number of sprinklers.
Am I making a mistake in my thinking here, or is that actually the case?
